Taylor Academy 12-N Grand Concert Nylon-String Acoustic Guitar Natural

The Academy Series Academy 12-N Grand Concert nylon-string acoustic guitar from Taylor Guitars was designed with beginners and smaller players in mind. The 12-N features a lightweight sapele body with a solid spruce top that produces a bright, balanced tone perfect for a variety of musical styles. Its slim mahogany neck and low-tension nylon strings make playing easy and comfortable even for those just starting out. Despite its affordable price, the 12-N includes high-quality components like a genuine ebony fingerboard for a premium feel. The included gig bag provides a convenient way to transport and store your 12-N between practice sessions and performances.

Lightweight Comfort for Hours of Playing

The Academy 12-N's sapele back and sides and compact Grand Concert body size reduce weight for maximum comfort during long practice sessions and performances. Its slim mahogany neck and low-tension nylon strings require minimal effort to press down, ideal for beginners building finger strength and calluses. The 12-N's smaller nut width also suits players with smaller hands, allowing them to form chords and navigate the fretboard with ease.

Balanced Tone for Versatile Playing

A solid spruce top provides the 12-N with a bright, balanced tone suitable for playing a variety of musical genres from classical to pop and rock. Spruce is a lightweight, responsive tonewood that produces articulation and clarity. When paired with sapele, a dense hardwood with warm overtones, the result is a tone with shimmering highs, tight lows and a focused midrange.

Premium Components at an Affordable Price

While affordably priced, the 12-N doesn't skimp on quality. It features a genuine ebony fingerboard known for its durability and smooth playability. Ebony fingerboards are found on Taylor's high-end models and help the 12-N deliver a premium playing experience at a fraction of the cost. The 12-N also includes a padded gig bag for transport and storage between uses.
